If you missed ITEXPO a few weeks back in Miami, FL – I am sorry to hear that… It was one of the best events I’ve been to in a long time. Then again of course I am a bit biased as the conference chairman.

Brett Williams of AudioCodes talks about how great the show was for his company

So you don’t feel too left out, we figured we’d share some of the videos from the event. There is much more to be posted which will be found here.

One of the biggest credit card challenges for users is seeing charges get declined because of potential fraud. In families and many companies, a central card can be shared by many people and when the credit card company flags a potentially fraudulent transaction and alerts the cardholder, it is possible that the card gets immediately cancelled out of fear. This can happen, even if transactions aren’t really fraudulent and in turn can cause a cascade of problems related to automated payments and other pending transactions within the family or organization.

In my experience, the banks are getting better at communicating with their customers about the potential for a transaction to be fraudulent but they are far from perfect.

There are many parallels between the disruption being caused by WebRTC and what happened in VoIP. During the IP telephony days, Dialogic was one of the key infrastructure providers to carriers, call centers and companies of all sizes. Likewise in WebRTC, Dialogic is playing an interconnecting role and the company helps WebRTC scale and moreover provides the tools to add value to web communications.

The reason I bring this is up is because Jim Machi of Dialogic gave a keynote at WebRTC Expo in San Jose last year which you may have missed.
